Dad has not slept for weeks, now acts weird, talks nonstop, gets dehydrated, looses concentration. never hpnd before. what could be the problem?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dad not slept: Several things come to mind; is dad on medications & were there any changes by his doctor? Is he worried about something & is getting depressed? Is he forgetting things?. Best is to have him see his pcp for workup.
